A lavish complex of vermilion-and-gold shrine halls at the foot of Shizuoka’s Mt. Shizuhata, where Ieyasu came of age. The two-storey main hall is one of the largest lacquered shrine buildings in the country — quietly spectacular and rarely crowded with cruise visitors.

⚓ The one rule

Be back on board at least 60 minutes before departure. Every itinerary on this site is designed around your all-aboard time, not around opening hours.

🗻 Will you see Fuji?

Mt. Fuji is clearly visible roughly 3–4 days out of 10, best in early morning. Check the official live camera before you commit to a view-based plan — and see our Plan B.

🚢 Ship schedule

Arrival berths and times are published by the Shimizu Port Passenger Ship Committee. Note: if your ship docks at Okitsu Pier, walking out is not permitted — plan transport ahead.
